Listen "Notion's Emma Auscher on Creating "Everyday Luxury" AI Experiences"

Episode Synopsis

What happens when you serve every single customer — from students to enterprise — with the same white-glove experience? At Notion, it created a CX challenge that traditional automation couldn't solve, forcing them to rethink the entire human-AI balance.
Emma Auscher, Global Head of CX, tells Ashish how Notion's "no customer left behind" philosophy led to a counterintuitive discovery: implementing AI increased both automated resolution rates and human agent interactions simultaneously. Rather than typical deflection strategies, they're creating what Emma calls "everyday luxury" experiences.
